WEBVTT - Awkward Tuesday: Unhappy Birthday

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>It's Tuesday, which means it's your Awkward Tuesday podcast on

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a second Date update. I mean, Awkward Tuesday for us

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.120
<v Speaker 1>is really kind of like Second Date in that it's

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>relationship oriented, but it could be any relationship.

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but today we do have a boyfriend and a

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>girlfriend that are having issues.

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 3>We do, which you know, it's always good when they

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 3>call it radio station to talk, they call them communicate.

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 2>If I was dealing with what this guy was dealing with,

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 2>I would have lost.

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 3>It a lot sooner than he did a lot sooner.

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:29.319
<v Speaker 2>So you're gonna hear that in just a second, but

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I love to highlight your comments. Yes, Libby said, I

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 2>only listened to you guys in the car, and no,

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm not changing it for anyone.

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you think she listens to the podcast or the

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 3>radio in the car. I don't know, you know. I

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 3>read it first as radio, and then I'm like, maybe not,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe not. That's so interesting we are on the radio.

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 3>You guys know that as well. All right, let's get

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:52.599
<v Speaker 3>into your podcast. It starts right now.

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 4>Imagine thinking you just won the lottery, only to find

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 4>out two months later it was a weird computer glitch

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 4>and you actually won nothing, No way. That's what it's

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 4>like getting hired to work in radio.

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Yay.

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 4>Oh wait a second, Oh.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 3>Come on, Jack, I love working with us.

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 4>Sure, but there is one non radio person who understands

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 4>the feeling all too well. Because our listener thought his

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 4>girlfriend was planning the most epic birthday trip for him

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 4>of all time wow, until one text message shattered everything.

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, and now he needs our help not to

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 4>save the trip, but possibly to save his relationship. You're

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 4>gonna hear it in a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Next, It's awkward.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 3>It's Tuesday.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.199
<v Speaker 5>It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Do you like it when a significant other makes a

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 4>big deal about your birthday, like, goes through the effort

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 4>to plan things for you, buys your nice presence, does

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 4>a big surprise. Yes, I mean Brooks says she loves it,

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 4>unless the surprise is a barbershop quartet.

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 3>Was unpumpy. Okay, that was.

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Not cool fun, But there are contingencies to the surprise.

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Clearly well, four weird old men standing behind me singing

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>in a radio studio.

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 3>It's not my idea of a good time.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Kind of an inside joke. But if you didn't know

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 4>a while ago, Brook's husband organized that for her on

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.519
<v Speaker 4>the show, and she absolutely despised it.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Dude, just making eye took contact with people that are

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>singing to you is just too much.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 3>I wish I was here for that.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, I bring it up because one of our listeners, Kroy,

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 4>is having a birthday soon and his significant other was

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 4>making a big deal about it. Emphasis on was because

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 4>it sounds like maybe things have changed.

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 6>Croy.

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 4>Welcome to the show.

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 5>Hey guys, thanks for having me.

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, I'm sorry. When's your birthday? It's coming up?

<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeahry of Birthday's coming up in two weeks.

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Your trouble is literally dirty thirty like a fun way.

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah okay, So what made you email the show for

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 4>help about your birthday? Something with you and your girlfriend?

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 4>What's going on?

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Yeah, so my uh, I've been seeing my girlfriend

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 5>Chrissy for two years now, and months ago she started

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 5>making a big deal about how she wants to go

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 5>over the top for me for my thirtieth birthday.

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 6>That's awesome, great girlfriend.

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah what does that mean though.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 5>Well, it means that she got me an early birthday present,

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 5>which was a really nice watch. Oh and in addition

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 5>to that, for the actual birthday, she booked us a

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 5>trip to the Bahamas.

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Wow, yay, my god.

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 4>You didn't take the watch as like kind of an

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 4>insulting present.

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Though, Wait, what do you mean like you're running out

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 3>of time? You're in thirty Yeah, you're never on time

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 3>for stuff on time?

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 4>Thought, now you're getting old times running out. You didn't

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 4>read it like that symbolic.

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 5>No, maybe if it wasn't as nice a watch as this,

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 5>But I mean I didn't even think about that.

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Are you calling me?

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 5>Old? Wait?

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you calling and there's a like you have an

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>upcoming Bahamas trip right?

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 5>Well yeah, but I mean even more than that, it's

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 5>not just the watch of the Bahamas trip. She even

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 5>showed me that she splurged on the hotel room too,

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.839
<v Speaker 5>like we have a super nice view of the ocean.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 5>That's amazing. She bought us outfits for the trip to

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 5>where when we go out?

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 3>So wait, where's the problem come in?

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 5>So the problem comes in that last week she tells

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 5>me that she had to return my watch. What wait? What?

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? And I was like, oh why, I really like

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 5>this watch. It's really nice. And she said, I know,

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 5>but maybe we'll get you a different one later. Oh,

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, what does that mean? And she

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 5>was like, I don't really want to talk about it.

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 6>Oh my god.

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I immediately think maybe she overspent?

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you know, like is it sounds like she

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>was just going nuts, like the hotel room and the

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 2>trip and the watch, and then she got the credit.

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Card bill and she's like, wait a minute, I went

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 3>too far.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 4>And we could do with that with a watch, but

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 4>we'll still do the vacation.

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 5>Well my thoughts are worse because after that happened last week,

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 5>she texted me yesterday saying that she had to cancel

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 5>the trip.

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 4>What no, now Bahamas are off the table too. Yes,

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 4>what are you thinking?

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 5>I think she's planning to break up with me?

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Really, come on, stay, No, she's not playing to break

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 4>up with you. You're a good guy.

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Wait out the breakup, though, wouldn't she just because she

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>wants to get the refund first?

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Maybe she doesn't want to spend the money.

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but I would feel the same because

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>why why else would you do that?

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:55.799
<v Speaker 4>Like why Genji's rebook?

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 3>You can't do Cleveland instead of like the Bahamas.

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 4>He's sure even if it is too expensive. You can

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 4>find it more affordable.

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 3>I think, more than anything.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Why no explanation? Why isn't she telling you? Have you

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>asked her what's going on?

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 5>When I kept asking her why, she was like, oh,

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 5>we'll do a different thing. We'll do a different thing

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 5>later later. And she usually brings things up to me

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 5>if something's on her mind or whatever, but this has

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 5>been different, and I'm like, I can't think of anything

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 5>other than she's gonna break up with me, and I

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 5>don't know why. I have no idea. Why.

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, that's tough. Like I think i'd be pissed.

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 5>Yea.

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 2>If I'm just thinking if my boyfriend gave me these big, grandiose.

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Things and then took them away, I'd be like what

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 3>the hell?

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Like I would probably be the one thinking about dumping them,

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, no, you got to.

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Be taking it back to playing something better, to take

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 3>away presents that have already been gifted.

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.119
<v Speaker 4>Is that your suggestion to him right now? He should

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 4>dump her first before she dumps him.

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, Well maybe what she has to.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 5>Say, well, I'm not that shallow, and really I'm just

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 5>more concerned about our relationship here that's good.

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 3>That's good. You seem like a really good guy.

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, aside from taking away all your birthday presents

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 4>and canceling your birthday trip and then not communicating about

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 4>her feelings about why. Is there any other red flags

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 4>in the relationships?

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? None that I can think of.

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, then we need to help you figure out

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 4>what the heck is going on? Yes, with your girlfriend

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 4>and your birthday plans coming up. There has to be

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 4>an explanation.

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 5>I need her to open up and tell me, because

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 5>it seems like anything I say she quickly just closes

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 5>it down. She doesn't want to talk about it at

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 5>all anymore.

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 6>We could just call it bunch like Chuck e cheeses

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 6>and see if there's any bookings.

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 3>So she could still be planning a surprise.

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 6>There's a surprise from the surprise.

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. It seems like the birthday is like

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 5>far away in her mind too, like like she's not

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 5>even planning anything anymore, you know.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So we have a mission now to find out

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 4>why after your girl friend booked a vacation for your

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 4>thirtieth birthday and got you an expensive watch, she took

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 4>it all back with zero explanation. We'll try to get

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 4>you some answers in your awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 5>Thank you guys.

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Next, it's awkward, it's Tuesday.

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 5>It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 4>What are the subtle red flags from a significant other

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 4>that show they're attempting to break up with you?

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 4>Man, maybe if they change your Netflix profile name to

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 4>just the word guest. That's not a good sign screen.

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 4>Or if you find a PowerPoint presentation on their computer

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 4>about why you should start seeing other people.

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that very specific.

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 4>It's a red flag, but not saying it's totally over yet.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, could have helpful information to it.

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 4>And the only thing our listener Kroy has noticed from

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 4>his girlfriend are she's returned his birthday gift without asking him,

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 4>canceled his birthday vacation, and hasn't been communicating about why

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.599
<v Speaker 4>she's doing these things or really wanting to talk to

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 4>him about it at all. So not great, but that's

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 4>why he's come to us looking for advice on how

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 4>to finally get his girlfriend to just be honest and

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 4>tell him what's going on. Yes, Brook, Kroy needs you

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 4>right now and your wisdom. What do you have to

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 4>say to Kroy.

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 5>To help you. Man.

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 3>I am just like you, Kroy.

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I always go to worst case scenario, like I fall

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 2>down that rabbit hole of this is going to the

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 2>most terrible thing ever.

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:41.599
<v Speaker 3>And I think.

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm hoping there was some advice on so that is.

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, that is the advice.

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.960
<v Speaker 2>You can only go up from there, you know, Like

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>like my mom used to tell me before i'd like

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 2>try out for a team or apply from a job,

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 2>She'd be like, you're not gonna get that.

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 3>You probably won't get that, And then when I did,

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.839
<v Speaker 3>it was so exciting. So maybe assume she's cheating on

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 3>you too. Yeah, yeah, talking alexis.

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 4>You've already hit rock bottom.

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 6>Croy.

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 4>That must feel good.

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm not. I can't say I'm rolling with that

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 5>advice because I didn't even think about her cheating on me,

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 5>and now I'm kind of spiraling.

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh wow, so you're gonna so there we go.

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 4>What do you think, Jose, I.

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 6>Don't know a ton about women. Shocking, Okay, I'm assuming

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 6>if you want one to open up to you, you

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 6>want to give her like food and wine. But you're

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 6>not with her right now, You're not in the same location.

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Are you going to give me the food and water.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 6>Tell her you love her, and then don't talk. Just

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 6>see what she says. She may feel guilty and open up.

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 6>She may double down and say I love you forever.

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Okay, I just toss out and I love you

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.839
<v Speaker 4>and read the vibe from her reaction. What do you

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 4>think of that, Croy?

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 3>That's what I should have said.

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 5>I can figure out a way to read that in yeah, yeah.

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>I love you to your girlfriend of two years.

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 6>It's going to be a tough one.

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.559
<v Speaker 4>Somehow I'll figure out a way to drop the l

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.839
<v Speaker 4>arm on her. But I think that's actually good advice, Jose.

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 2>And when she doesn't say anything back to you or

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.719
<v Speaker 2>says thank you, it's okay man.

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 4>We're running out of time, though, so we just got

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.959
<v Speaker 4>to start dialing your girlfriend, Chrissy and see if she answers. Croy,

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 4>You've got this.

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 5>Man, Okay, I'm ready, guys. Let's do it all right, man.

<v Speaker 4>I'm a dollar number right now. We'll be waiting quietly

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 4>to jump in if you need help.

<v Speaker 5>Here we go. Hello, Hey, hey baby, it's me babe.

<v Speaker 5>Where are you calling me from? I'm just I'm just

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 5>calling from another number. As all I wanted to know

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 5>if I could talk to you real quick for a second.

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 5>Of all, I'm kind of busy right now. Can we

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 5>talk about when I get home? Uh? Well, you've been

0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 5>busy like the last three days. I've barely seen yourn

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 5>to you like at all. I just need two minutes, okay,

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:09.480

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 5>the deal. I love you, Okay, that's why you called me. Well,

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm just getting a bad feeling in the pit of

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 5>my stomach because of the way you've been acting the

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 5>last month. I don't know what you're talking about. Okay.

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 5>You gave me that nice watch and then you gave

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 5>it back without asking me. Isn't that a little weird?

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm sorry about that.

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what to tell you, okay.

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.599
<v Speaker 5>And then you book us the trip of a lifetime

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 5>for my birthday and get me excited about it, and

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:57.079
<v Speaker 5>then text me yesterday saying that you canceled it. I

0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 5>don't know what to say, Chrissy, are you about to

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 5>break up with me? Look? Something happened and I don't

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:16.200
<v Speaker 5>know how to tell you. Okay, Okay, Well listen, I'm

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 5>here for you. Okay, I love you. Tell me what's

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 5>going on? Please?

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know the watch I got it was pretty expensive.

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:30.559
<v Speaker 5>I mean maybe you don't know, but it was. Yeah, okay.

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 6>The trip my box was pretty pricey.

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay. Well I didn't ask you to spend that money.

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 5>You wanted to spend the money, I know, and.

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 6>I thought I could afford it because I was using

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 6>Apple Bay.

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, okay, did you know that's real money?

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 5>Like I just thought it was like Apple points I

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 5>earned by using my iPhone. It's like I'm stupid.

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh hello, hi Chrissy.

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh sweet girl?

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Chrissy, Hello, Hi, Hi.

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 4>It's my job to tell you right now that you're

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 4>on a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 4>Morning and we're doing something called the awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 2>What.

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm really sorry, Chrissy. I didn't know. I didn't know

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 5>how else to get you to talk about this. I

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 5>had to go to the radio and Ed had the radio.

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 5>That's why I'm calling from a different number because I

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 5>didn't know what was going on. Just ask me at home.

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 3>No, it's okay, it's okay.

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's way better than what he thought, I said,

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Jackie only was up.

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 4>No, it's I didn't know apple Pay was using real

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 4>money because I'm an idiot, because I was an Android

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 4>person for so long and I just chased over six

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 4>months ago.

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you connect your credit card to I'm sorry you

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't think apple pay was real money.

0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 4>What did you think it was?

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 5>But I thought I was earning like Apple points. It's

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 5>like taking American dollars from your credit card.

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 3>That's why your.

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Credit card pops up when you press it, right.

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 6>I just thought there was a deposit to have, just

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 6>some case, Okay, to make sure you have an active

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 6>bank account.

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 3>It's okay.

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Adulting's hard and we're not all taught the lessons that

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>we should be taught before being sent out.

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 3>To the real world.

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay, we don't need to come descend.

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm not trying to be condescending. I've tried to make

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 3>her feel better.

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 5>Babe. You thought that for using your iPhone for six months,

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 5>you got enough Apple points to buy a nice watch

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 5>and a trip to the Bahamas.

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I use it every day.

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean I like her point system better.

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you can't believe.

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 5>You put me on the rating.

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 3>You could have just asked me.

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 5>Now everybody knows how stupid I am.

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 3>No, no, wait, you just had an airhead moment. We've

0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 3>all had them before.

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 5>Funda. This is a lot better than what I thought

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 5>was happening. And I thought you canceled all those things

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 5>because you were trying to break up with me.

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:06.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I just didn't know how to tell you because

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 5>it's like the dumbest thing I've ever done, and I

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 5>was really dumb, and now you just put me on

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 5>blast to the.

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 4>World like, yeah, well, he's not trying to put you

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 4>on blaster or do anything. It's he only came to

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 4>us for help because he was trying to ask you

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 4>about it, and you kept saying we'll talk later or

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 4>you're too busy. The good news is this is all

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 4>finally out in the open. There's solutions. It sounds like

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 4>you've figured things out about how Apple pay actually works.

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 3>And what a sweet girlfriend to even plan that stuff

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 3>to begin with.

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 5>He's the best girlfriend ever. I really really love her,

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 5>you guys.

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 4>With that comment, he just heard himself some boyfriend points there.

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's why I fill that bucket, buddy, which are

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 1>different than American dollar points.

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 4>Yes, so you know you can't buy much.

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:55.120
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of crypto.

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 4>So listen, Chrissy, CROI, both of you. You can go

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.880
<v Speaker 4>back to planning the thirty its birthday, something a little

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.679
<v Speaker 4>bit more in your budget. But don't be upset with

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:05.120
<v Speaker 4>each other.

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 5>M Oh, I'm not upset. I'm not upset at all.

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 5>This is the best. This is great.

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 4>How about you?

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 5>This is very embarrassing, but I will get over it.

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, Chrissy, look at it this way. A

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.399
<v Speaker 4>wise old radio host once told me this is your

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 4>rock bottom. It can only get better. It actually does.

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Working Jeffrey in the morning, There's.

0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Got to be some people listening to this right now

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 4>who just had the exact same realization that Apple Pay

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 4>isn't rewards points for using your cell phone. It's actual,

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 4>real American dollars.

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 6>Some kid is like, I'm about to be in so

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:46.240
<v Speaker 6>much trouble.

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Yep, I'm gonna tell you my kids don't even have

0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>phones yet, but I'm still gonna go home and show them.

0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's real money. I mean, Alexis Starbucks uses this

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 4>where you can earn Starbucks points and earn and get

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 4>free drinks. Why wouldn't Apple do the same exact.

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Thing, right, you're right.

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:02.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't know talking.

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think our podcast should have a reward

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 4>system where for every three awkward Tuesdays you listen to,

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 4>Brooke will give you one dollar straight out of her

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 4>son's piggy bank.

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 3>It seems like A does not do that part singing.

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Everyone subscribe and earn free money stolen from Brook's children.

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 4>I think it's a it's wherever you get your podcasts

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 4>that Brook and Jeffrey
